Eggs and egg farms : Trustworthy information regarding the successful production of eggs--the construction plans of poultry buildings and the methods of feeding that make egg farming most profitable ... Poultry; Eggs Production. EGGS AND EGG FARMS â cities than those mentioned, including the apparently para- doxical feat of laying rotten new-laid eggs, this being a not infrequent occurrence. The egg, being unable to force its way through the fattj' oviduct, is retained two or three days near the mouth of this organ, and, if a fertilized one, the heat of the hens body tends to putrefy it, and when ultimately laid it is in an addled condition. To other causes, but principally diseased organs, is due a departure from the normal in the way of color. A hen which laj'S white or brown eggs, on rare occasions produces one almost black, while at other times these vagaries much resemble the dark green of the emu's eggs, and, in most instances, the shells are rough, wavj', cor- rugated, or otherwise irregular. Then there are instances of foreign matter being found in eggs, clots of blood being 53âMISSHAPED EGGS UNFIT FOR HATCHING ing unusual. This is the result of the breaking of a blood- vessel internally, and, again, possibly the effect of over feeding. FOWLS PRODUCING FAULTY EGGS SHOULD BE DISCARDED Fowls from whatever cause producing an}- of the above misshapen or otherwise faulty eggs should at once be got rid of, for although in some cases a reduced diet may bring them back to their normal production, still the slighest cause will frequently prompt the organs to their previous irregularities, the fowls thus becoming unprofitable members of the flock. As has been seen the majority of troubles mentioned are pre- ventable ones, and largely due to the poultry keepers' mistaken kindness in overfeeding, but there are other ills of a more serious nature than those mentioned. The producing organs are of a most delicate nature, and, from the amount of work they have to
